Parents all have certain goals in common when it comes to success in parenting-to prepare a child for a loving and fulfilling life of independence and choice. With humor, compassion, and love, De Minner tells the story of raising their son and daughter with her husband Bob, through all the trials and tribulations seen with nearly every child, including some special twists required to navigate unforeseen challenges and overcome the stigmas of raising a child with Down syndrome. The outcome from this connected and caring family environment is by anyone's definition a true success!

Angela Marie, an individual born with Down syndrome received all the care and guidance to create that success. She and her younger brother, Joe had a great childhood peppered with the usual rivalries, companionship, and milestones, along with many more adventures and misadventures most of us would never encounter. Angie is an adult with room in her heart for plenty of love, generosity, and simple pleasures along with an amazing talent for subtle and not-so subtle humor.

De quotes her husband Bob, "Before she was born, I prayed for a perfect child. It took me a while to realize we got exactly what I asked for."

Anyone with a child born with Down syndrome would benefit from this touching, witty, and heartfelt story of a family and their way of dealing with all the issues that come up in a special needs person's life.This experiential book gives new parents of Down syndrome hope and insight to some of the challenges they will likely face.
